To catch the fish, you have to think like the fish. To think like the fish, you have to become the fish... For those of us who aren't shapeshifters, the easiest, and most stylish, way to “become the fish” is to grab a couple of Korda's new Scaley t-shirts.
Available in a range of sizes, and in either carpy olive green or a soft, wear-it-anywhere heather grey, the Scaley t-shirt features a large back piece, with a realistic, sleekly-scaled carp's body shimmering up the centre. On the front, a discreet chest patch shows a full, stylised fish. You might not actually get to become the fish, but you'll certainly look good while you're casting for it, whether your fishing takes you to broad, scenic British lakes, or throws you into the wild tumult of extreme European carp angling.
For your summer sessions or as part of a full layer of winter warmth, there's nothing better than this edgy, arty offering from one of the boldest brands in angling.
Aquatic Kombat – Korda to the Kore
Also part of Korda's new clothing range, and an essential for all your summer holiday packing, whether you've got some great fishing planned, or are just looking forward to relaxing and forgetting the day to day for a week or two, the Korda Kore Kombat shorts give you the military style you need, and set you up for a successful summer campaign overseas, and a successful summer barbecue raid at those British bankside socials. Shake a leg, and pull on your Korda Kombats.
A close-fitting pair of combat-design shorts, these brushed-fleece finish shorts feature a 60/40 polycotton blend, which is perfect for ensuring you stay cool, not matter how hot the subsurface action gets. Zip-close cargo pockets give you plenty of storage, allowing you to keep your rod licence, permits, wallet, mobile phone, car keys, and maybe even a small tackle box close at hand, without having to tote a rucksack with you everywhere – perfect if your summer fishing is just a casual, laid-back part of a family summer holiday, and ideal for those chilled out bankside social opportunities.
These shorts are fitted, short-length joggers, which give you a fashionable look, whilst maintaining the freedom of movement angling demands. They are close-fitted, so it's worth ordering a size larger than you would normally to ensure there's nothing holding you back when you need to make that spectacular lunging cast to a distant feature.
Kore Komponents
Taking you from midday heat to cooler summer evenings, the Korda Kore Black Zip Hoodie pulls on easily over your Scaley t-shirt, setting off your Kore Kombat shorts perfectly, and ensures that a pleasant summer day spent at the water's edge doesn't fade to a distant memory as the first fingers of a slightly colder evening begin to reach out across the bank, feeling their way to bringing in the first shadings of last light,
Also an ideal option as part of a winter layering ensemble, this hoody looks as good off the bank as it does on, and is perfect for all your British summer carp fishing, giving you a lakeside style that sets the tone for the kind of angler you are, and the kind of competition you're going to give everyone else on the bank.
Why Should I Buy It?
The right clothing is part of your wider angling mindset. When you're dressed to impress, you feel impressive – that's as true when you're casting out a perfectly rolled hookbait in the hopes of landing a large carp as it is when you're presenting your key skills in the hope of landing your dream job. Get the right clothes, and you'll become the right person.
In an angling setting, clothes are also an important aspect of your performance. It's not just about looking good and feeling confident; it's about having the freedom of movement to make the casts that will take your bait further than anyone else's, right out to that prime feature. It's about being cool, dry, and warm all at once, with fabric designed to wick moisture away from your skin, and help regulate your core body temperature, so that nothing is distracting you from your fishing. It's about having clothing that feels as comfortable in the settling of dusk as it did at the first light of dawn, and it's about the practicality of having clothing that gives you plenty of pockets, allowing you to keep your valuables, and your angling essentials, close at hand, without weighing yourself down with unnecessary luggage. When the only thing in your hand is your rod, landing net, and unhooking mat, and your bait bag's the only thing slung over your shoulder, the wider possibilities of secluded swims, hidden gems, and awkward spots that give you the perfect position to maximise your reach on a given venue are really opened up, bringing the advantages that will help you achieve your angling ambitions, on each and every session.
Look good, feel great, and perform to the full limits of your potential with this core range of summer clothing, which transitions seamlessly to create effective, warm, and comfortable layers for winter carping. When you need a brand that gets to the core of your bankside style, you need Korda. Stride out in Kore Kombats, become the fish with a Scaley t-shirt, and Zip Up a Hoodie as afternoon gives way to evening.
Wherever you are, at home or abroad, Korda can be there with you, providing the comfort and practicality you need, with the stylish sophistication you want, to help ensure you achieve everything you're capable of, in every session, on any venue. Get to the core of who you are as an angler, and scale the heights of carping possibility with this striking new clothing range from Korda, designed to take you everywhere your angling leads, from bankside to barbecue, tackle shop to trail head. Whether you're fishing for carp, or just fishing for compliments, wear Korda – and ensure you make a great catch.
